Peak power on methanol = 0.8 lambda = 5.2:1 AFR (yes, vehicles that run straight methanol run in the FIVE to ONE Air to Fuel Ratio at WOT)
So adding 100% methanol to gasoline = moving from 11:1 AFR toward 5.2:1 AFR = getting richer.

what a useless bunch of information.
scott, what does your wideband "say" is the "afr" when you throw it on a 100% methanol-powered car idling at stoich fueling?
answer carefully.
